I do this daily on industrial contracts, sometimes commercial in the initial stages of the installation. The majority of electrical work has been commercial and industrial installations, but I do quite a lot of domestic work too!

If I see them hanging on a shelf, it will feel slightly strange at first (I have to admit) but when I see someone recommending it to a colleague saying “they’re really good”, that will be job done! When working at height, which is often the case with cable management, you need things to be much easier.

Maecenas facilisis, tellus ac varius auctor, odio nisi ornare lectus, non feugiat eros purus eu nulla.After a difficult time trying to get a company using spark erosion to make a few one-offs, I decided to visit a local engineering company and they eventually made me 20 blanks, which I then took to a spark erosion company (Neptune Engineering) Hertford. Drive wings create a strong location in the bolt head and provide increased contact with the drive edges. To make it even easier, the driver is magnetised to maximise the connection with the roofing bolt and hold it securely….

I then thought of scribed lines on the outside to give it a reference, and this made things slightly easier. To make driving easier, the tools are magnetic to maximise the connection with the fastener, for secure holding and hassle-free start-ups. drive wings create a strong location in the bolt head and provide increased contact with the drive edges. How will you feel seeing your product concept in electrical wholesalers and being used by electricians?While thinking of making a working prototype, and patent pending, I met Dean Butcher at the Armeg stall during a trade show in Birmingham. I regularly use their holesaws, ¼” drive bit sets and HSS drills, so I wanted to set the standard high in terms of quality and looks. Following its successful launch as part of the Armeg range, we catch up with the inventor of the Roofing Bolt Driver, electrician John Mijalski. While thinking of making a working prototype, and patent pending; I met Dean Butcher at the Armeg stall during a trade show at the NEC in Birmingham.

Using the Roofing Bolt Driver makes the process faster and more efficient, great for awkward installations. We are proud to work with John as the exclusive manufacturing and distribution partner, producing the driver at our Sheffield HQ and using our 50 years of manufacturing knowledge and experience to produce a proud British product. Combine this with the Twister rated ¼” shank for impact drivers, the tool can make installing roofing bolts a one-handed job, ideal when working at heights.

I chose Armeg because I like the products, I use their Holesaws, ¼” drive bit sets, HSS drills and like the quality. After having a 3D version printed, I realised the user could not locate it easily because the cross was not visible enough. Having launched this Spring, 2021, the simple yet incredibly effective Impact Rated Roofing Bolt Driver is proving to be a hit with professionals in the trade. The most common time for me to use the gutter bolts /roof bolts are in commercial or industrial situations, where cable management trays are being used above suspended ceilings.

The patented product was invented and designed by a professional electrician, John Mijalski, after snapping off a flat head screwdriver during a roofing bolt installation. Roofing bolts have a large flat head and a threaded body, supplied with a square nut which is tightened when fixing. Drive wings provide increased contact with the drive edges, improving power transmission efficiency via a stronger and more secure location in the bolt. The technical storage or access is strictly necessary for the legitimate purpose of enabling the use of a specific service explicitly requested by the subscriber or user, or for the sole purpose of carrying out the transmission of a communication over an electronic communications network.

John) I’m Based in Hoddesdon Hertfordshire, My Interests outside of work are Fishing, DIY Projects around the house and Garden; and I currently have a renovation project on an old JEEP. The other problems I faced were the time it was taking to tighten the bolts up and the flat head drivers not fitting properly. The majority of electrical work has been commercial and industrial installations, but I do quite a lot of domestic work too.
